It is that time again – A new collection of prints has just been launched on The Little Shop of Jasmine. Bare with me though, this post is a little on the longer side. A lot has changed this time round so I thought I would fill you in on what has been keeping my up late for the last two months.

THE
SHOOT

Not that long ago now I was invited to a
space in Paddington, Brisbane called Showroom. I instantly fell in love. A
renovated Queenslander with timber floors, white walls, beautiful original
features and sun light to die for. When the showroom isn’t holding pop up shops
and venues for local creatives they run their own creative workshops! A perfect addition to Paddington.Wilde FloraOwner Caroline and Spring Shop creator Catherine brought their creative minds together on this space and have made something truly magical. So obviously when I was thinking
where I was going to shoot this collection – Showroom was an obvious choice.

If you would like to shop the shoot, I have
listed all the brands below. Also make sure to check out the space for yourself
if you are Brisbane based!

You can visit the lovely ladies at 135 Latrobe Terrace, Paddington QLD 4064.

THE
COLLECTION

I have now been doing this for 6 months
& I would love to thank everyone who has bought a print or supported me and
all of my adventures so far. With being so new to this a few things needed to
be ironed out and before creating this collection I really took time out to
reflect on the past collections to create something truly special.

I know a lot of people are creating
brush/calligraphy typography prints for sale and it would be easy for me to pump out
ridiculous amounts of cliché popular sayings that the masses would buy. But I
realised that isn’t me – that isn’t the work I love. I love the process of
creating these prints beyond looking at popular quotes and pumping out designs.
I love manipulating or being playful with cliché quotes to create something new
and relevant. This was the first point I really wanted to explore with this
collection.

Secondly, I wanted to attack the issue of
reproduction of my work with this collection. I am well aware that people seem
to think it is okay to take my work print it off and use it. So I wanted to
thank those who really support me by having the prints bought of
shop.jasminedowling.com special. I have changed printers and all paper stocks
that they have been created on. Firstly I have used a local company in Brisbane
to create my prints on high grade 300gsm white linen stock. To those who are
not paper people – this shit feels good, real good. I have also worked with Stitch Press
to create a limited edition copper foil print (obsessed with anything copper). All prints have
been stamped with a ‘Made With Love By Jasmine' stamp and have been numbered.

There has also been a change around with
shipping & collection dates. Due to being in my final semester of my
bachelor and the mounting pile of studio work I will be posting off on Monday,
Wednesday & Friday. However, I have changed the shipping domestically in
Australia so that all packages will be sent express to you. I will also be
stocking these prints until Christmas with no more switching of stock every
month. At this stage the prints have only been created in 25 sets, so they are all
limited edition.
